The Bagsmart Duffel Bag Is on Sale for $21 at Amazon

A puffer bag may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a reliable carry-on, but Bagsmart proved that’s possible thanks to its cute puffer duffel bag. More than 4,000 shoppers purchased it in the last month, and it’s on sale at Amazon today for just $21. 

Whether you’re gearing up for a spring weekend getaway and don’t want to check a bag, or you’re looking for a functional bag for the gym or work, a sleek duffel bag is our pick for all of the above. Amazon has hundreds of highly rated duffel bags, and I sifted through some of the top picks for you to shop—prices start at just $16.

Leading the pack of top-rated duffel bags for travel is the Bagsmart duffel bag. The brand is Oprah-approved and gives us all the more faith in its quality after she called out the toiletry bag as one of her favorite things. Droves of shoppers have purchased it recently, and it also has an impressive 1,900 five-star ratings. The puffer material is comfortable and flexible to pack and wear, and it has plenty of pockets for organization. The main compartment is spacious enough to hold essentials for a weekend away. One customer noted that they packed “three to four outfits, a small toiletry bag, my makeup bag, blow dryer, curling iron, and a pair of shoes” inside the sneakily roomy carry-on. It has a long strap and two handles, and even has a wet-resistant pocket for toiletries or dirty clothes. 

The sleek shape of this shoulder tote is ideal for anyone who wants a travel purse look. The side has a strategically placed zipper that opens up to a shoe compartment, and the main space has tons of room for whatever else you need to pack for a quick trip. It also has wet-dry storage pockets, and there are multiple other hidden pockets along the opening of the bag. This customer said, “What really sold me is that the pockets fit my Stanley so I don’t have to hold it while I walk to work,” which is what’s selling me, too.

This puffer bag is a dream for type-A packers because of its plethora of zipper pockets and hidden compartments. You don’t even have to just toss your laptop into the main section because there’s a designated laptop sleeve. The water bottle pocket fits a 40-ounce tumbler (aka it’s Stanley-friendly), and the puffer design has me hooked on its aesthetic. The shape and size would fit easily under your plane seat or in the overhead compartment for your next trip, too. This customer noted that it’s the “perfect size” and that it’s their go-to choice to use “in place of a backpack” when traveling.

This bag is known for its sturdy zippers and durable material for traveling and constant use. One shopper even said that it “looks more expensive than it is.” The bottom zipper compartment can hold two pairs of bulkier shoes or even more if you’re packing flats. There’s a trolley sleeve on the back to slip over a suitcase, and the waterproof material will keep your items protected no matter how rough the TSA is with it. 

If you are going for a sportier look or want to go from the plane to your hotel fitness center, this duffel bag style is an ideal design. The lightweight nylon is breathable, so your sneakers won’t stew in sweaty smells, and it’s water-resistant, too. Plus, the durability of the fabric makes it machine washable. More than 3,000 customers bought this duffel in the last month, and one said it’s “very spacious” and “practical.”

For just $16, this sleek shoulder duffel will hold all of your outfits, shoes, and extras for a weekend away while being able to fit under your seat on the flight. The trolley sleeve on the back has a small zipper pocket to hold your passport or credit cards with ease. Inside, you’ll be met with the spacious main compartment along with several smaller pockets to organize your belongings. A shopper who has owned the bag for five years said that it’s the perfect size for “a long weekend, hospital bag, or traveling with kids.”
